Summer means picnic and eating your meals outside. We are spending a lot of time in the garden and have also had some luck doing barberques with friends. For such occations these new furnitures from Eberhart are quite nice to look and make a fine base for setting the table. Furniture by Eberhart are made of the quality materials and by techniques that founders Rune and Esben have learned from their grandfather.

I have been off line for a while…have been in Sweden at my parents cottage, but now I’m back and there are one thing I need to show you. The most beautiful thing is happening in our garden these days. Our trees are blossoming and it is the most beautiful sight. Especially our big apple tree we can admire from the window in our bedroom. Not a bad view to wake up to. Have a great weekend!

I have already bought the first flowers for the terrace and can’t wait for the time when we will have the door to our garden wide open all day. However, preparing for the summer season makes me want to change our outdoor furniture! I don’t think it’s going to happen but if we should, I would choose the cool Palissade collection from Hay. The series is designed by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec.

This October we are expecting a little girl. Our first child. We are both very excited and the whole renovation of our new home has now got an extra dimension. When we bought the house last summer I wasn’t pregnant so the play house in the back of the garden didn’t interest us that much. Now it seems perfect for our family expansion, but the house needed a make over to match our style and the wood was screaming for some care. So it diden’t take us long to decide that the play house should be painted black and I think the result has turned out very nice. We chose paint from Pinotex to make sure it would last a long time and I was pleased to see how well the new paint covered the old. Now the play house is ready for it’s new resident and till then we have something nice to look at from our terrace. Next garden project is to paint the sand pit the same color.

I’ve said it before – this summer has been great and it’s probably the first time in 6 years we have had so much use of our out door terrace. From April till now it has been an extra room and we have eaten almost every meal outside. My lemon trees have got a new place in the sun which have made them grow even more. I wish this summer could last forever!

Over the years I have come to love Royal Copenhagen more and more and the way I decorate my home today makes room for much more classic and refined design. My grand father and aunt have worked at the royal factories for decades where my grand father made the moldes for many of the designs. Therefore the design icons have always been in my home – more or less. As many other I love the blue fluted series, but just as much the blue and black fluted mega which I think is a well done modernization of the traditional design. I have pieces of both and like to mix it on the table.

The blue fluted series reminds me of weekend and pleasure and I think you can set a beautiful break fast or brunch table with the fine porcain. For me that’s Sunday morning when it’s best! I hope you have had a wonderful weekend!
